What is DAB+

5

Digital DAB+ was developed in Europe by a consortium of broadcasters and
manufactures. DAB+ uses digital compression techniques to transform the
source material, i.e. music and speech, into better quality audio.

Analogue systems suffer from an effect called "multipath distortion". This is
caused because waves do not behave in a orderly fashion, but bounce and
reflect off buildings etc. DAB+ sees this as an advantage and uses the direct
and reflected signals to actually reinforce the end result, allowing for better
service most of the time.

A signal DAB+ frequency can be used to cover the whole of Australia, solving
many of the problems experienced with the earilier analogue DAB+ scan
automatically tunes in all of the available stations in your area.

Broadcasters can transmit text to your radio, this way you can read the name
of the DJ, Artist, song title or any other information they choose.
